Château Pétrus--Vintage 1959
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Damp-stained label with Nicolas stamp. Level base of neck
Tasting note: Not tasted in its youth but predictably sweet and fleshy when first noted in 1972. Showing well in 1990 and 1993, and, the following year at the very useful Wolf/Weinart paired tasting when, though a big, rich wine, fully mature, it did not quite match the magnificent splendour of the '61. Last tasted Nov 1994 ***** M.B.
